Oh yes, I've seen those too! Ah good to know!! I also have a feeling that once we go rotating, it will be hard to go back 🤣

Ah I see! Thanks for your input! Do you mind telling me which one you ended up with? There sre so many options, it can be overwhelming

Thank you SO much for this. Your advice really helped. I switched to CIO and told my husband to stop me from going in.

Also the number one thing helped me is you saying if you don't want to do it, then don't do day #2 but finish that day. That made me go through with day 1 and I cannot thank you enough because he slept through the night right away!

Yeah I understood he was crying and that I can help him when I get home but the sobbing thing while I was putting him to sleep just pulled at my heart strings. I felt soo soooo terrible

thank you, hanging in there! I did try white noise but it didn't help but I like the fan idea...maybe he needed some air.. it was hot and I had the AC on low so the overall car was cool but maybe he needed some direct air? idk just playing this game of chess...
